I had some leftover green bricks from finding parts for my '59 Cadillac MOC, so I decided to use them and build a small model. This then snowballed into this 1930's streamlined caboose, which was inspired by a very similar real-world Wabash caboose located on the Katy Rail-Trail at St. Charles, Missouri. This caboose model is also inspired build-wise by the Katy Caboose (as in, "The Caboose who got Loose" from the children's book) model I copied in late 2021 from TrainedBricks' MOC.
The doors to the inside open, but there are no interior details. The yellow 1 x 4 bricks (actually supposed to be green) on the sides will have this print: www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3010pb119...
Three model cars from the modern looking streamlined Peugeot 202 series. They are on display in classic car museum Visscher Classique, Buren.
The 202 was the smallest Peugeot in the second half of the 1930s. It was officially presented in March 1938. It shared more or less the body style of the streamlined 302. The 202 was distinguishable by just one horizontal ventilation opening at the side of the bonnet, and the one-piece windscreen.
In the early 1930s revolutionary aerodynamic theories were applied for the first time to mass produced cars. Avant-garde cars like 1934 Tatra 77 and the 1934 Chrysler Airflow gained a lot of positive attention. The 402 was Peugeot's answer to its direct competitor the streamlined 1934 Citroën TA.
The 02-series was developed by the Département Études Carrosseries, under supervision of Henri Thomas.
The Peugeot 02-series was also called Fuseau-Sochaux.

It is a 29b Streamlined Bus with an officila Meccano factory paint sample label attached. Interestingly I don't think this colour scheme was actually used, hence the label has not been signed and date stamped as all the other similar samples I have seen.
Also frequently called the scrub turkey or bush turkey, it is a common, widespread species of mound-building bird from the family Megapodiidae found in eastern Australia from Far North Queensland to Eurobodalla on the south coast of New South Wales. The Australian brush turkey has also been introduced to Kangaroo Island in South Australia. It is the largest extant representative of the family Megapodiidae, and is one of three species to inhabit Australia. Despite its name and their superficial similarities, the bird is not closely related to American turkeys, nor to the Australian bustard, which is also known as the bush turkey. Its closest relatives are the wattled brush turkey, Waigeo brush turkey, and malleefowl. Brush turkey eggs are a favourite food of goannas, snakes, and dingoes and dogs, though brush turkeys were also a staple of Aboriginal Australians. Often, goannas exhibit wounds on their tails from having been pecked by brush turkeys that ferociously chase them away from their nests. In situations where they come into contact with humans, such as picnic areas in national parks and suburban gardens, brush turkeys exhibit little fear and often boldly attempt to steal food from tables and raid compost bins. They nest in suburban gardens, and in search of material for their nests remove enormous amounts of mulch from gardens. 6746
Only 16 years previously, Gresley A4 streamlined Pacific locomotives sped past here, enjoying a final period of glory working the three-hour Glasgow-Aberdeen express trains. The location is Glamis, Angus on the former Caledonian Railway route between Stanley Junction and Kinnaber Junction. The last A4s were withdrawn in Summer 1966, and the 46-mile route was closed in September 1967. The towns of Coupar Angus and Forfar lost their passenger service; Glasgow-Aberdeen services were routed on the North British line via Dundee.
One track remains in situ here, as Coupar Angus and Forfar continued to be served for a while by a sparse freight service. This ended in 1982, soon after the date of this photograph.

Norfolk Southern operated Norfolk & Western J-class 4-8-4 Northern streamlined steam locomotive # 611 is leading a Railfan Excursion Train out of a double ended siding with numerous people observing at Sale Creek, Tennessee, October 1989. It appears that most of these people are local residents just enjoying the scene and activity. This train was operated between Chattanooga and Oneida, Tennessee with a return trip the same day. All along the route at accessible locations you would see railfans and people enjoy the train while it passed by.
The Chrysler Airflow was produced by the Chrysler Corporation from 1934-1937. The Airflow was the first full-size American production car to use streamlining.
The Airflow was a design classic but a commercial flop.
In Britain they were sold as the Chrysler Heston and were built at Kew near London.
The LMS Princess Coronation Class 6229 Duchess of Hamilton was built in 1938 at Crewe as the tenth member of its class and the last in the second batch of five red streamliners.
In 1939 no. 6229 swapped identities with the first of the class 6220 Coronation and was sent to North America with a specially-constructed Coronation Scot train to appear at the 1939 New York World's Fair.
The locomotive was shipped back from the States in 1942 after the outbreak of the Second World War, and the identities of the locomotives were swapped back in 1943.
6229 was painted wartime black livery in November 1944. Her streamlined casing was removed for maintenance-efficiency reasons in December 1947 and she was then given the LMS 1946 black livery.
In 1948 she passed into BR ownership. BR added 40000 to her number to become 46229 on 15 April 1948.
46229 was saved from the scrap yard along with classmate 6233 Duchess of Sutherland as a result of Sir Billy Butlin's efforts to place these locomotives as children's playground exhibits at his holiday camps. Duchess of Hamilton survived at Minehead Holiday Camp and it returned to steam on the main line under the auspices of the Friends of the National Railway Museum.
Credit and thanks to Wikipedia for the Duchess of Hamilton information.
Southern Pacific Daylight GS-4 class 4-8-4 Northern steam engine # 4449, painted for the American Freedom Train leads its consist over a railroad trestle as it enters Bradenton, Florida, December 1976. The locomotive is a Lima built, modern, powerful and fast oil burning 4-8-4, Northern, semi-streamlined locomotive. The AFT train operated to most parts of Florida for the purpose of providing a traveling showcase of American history for the Bicentennial. You can see the fireman leaning out the cab window as well as seeing a cab rider in the doorway behind him. Back in the baggage-tool car, located behind the tender, is a crew member leaning out the door.
The rider on this splendidly retro-styled streamliner E-bike designed it himself and raised many a smile when he rolled up at today’s Treasure Island classic car show. The show’s organisers were less amused.

The Art Deco-style Edina Cinema, opened in 1934, was designed by the architectural firm of Liebenberg and Kaplan, whose other theater designs included the Uptown, the Suburban World and the Varsity. The theater’s landmark vertical neon sign, twice damaged and twice rebuilt, has become a visual symbol for the entire area.
During the mid-1930s several of the UK's 'Big Four' railways experimented with and introduced both streamlined steam locomotives and train sets along with premium services operated by these trains. Although one drive of streamlining was with regard to speed of equal opportunity was the publicity value of such trains.
They allowed the LNER and the rival west coast LMSR to promote the railway as modern and at the front of technology. It's equally fair to say that in the cash-strapped era the railway's branch line and secondary stock and services were not quite so well treated to investment as their main line counterparts!
In the case of the LNER following the introduction of the "Silver Jubilee" in 1935 and "The Coronation" in 1937 the company decided that the important London - West Yorkshire route, connecting Kings Cross to the major cities of Leeds and Bradford, should also get the 'streamline' treatment.
For the service, that started on Monday 27 September 1937 the company constructed new train sets, similar to those for the Silver Jubilee, that comprised four twin articulated coaches with two kitchen cars and the trains were intended to be hauled by the LNER's A4 class locomotives. The train ran until the outbreak of war when it was suspended, the train sets placed into storage and not reinstituted until BR days in 1949.
The advertising and publicity was, as for the Silver Jubilee and Coronation, designed to be of equal 'opulance', appealling to the First Class market the LNER wanted to capture although Third Class was also included. A supplemntary fare, of 4/- in First and 2/6 in Third, was charged. The service was timed smartly, with a northbound 'down' service leaving Kings Cross at 1910 and arriving into Leeds at 2153, before reaching Bradford Exchange at 2215 - a quoted average speed of 68.4 mph.
The booklet, printed at the Baynard Press, is in the same style as the Silver Jubilee and Coronation but lacks a designer's name.
The Shape of Speed
Streamlined Automobiles and Motorcycles, 1930–1942
JUN 16 – SEP 16, 2018
Portland Art Museum
The Portland Art Museum is pleased to announce The Shape of Speed: Streamlined Automobiles and Motorcycles, 1930–1942, a special exhibition debuting at the Museum in Summer 2018. Featuring 19 rare streamlined automobiles and motorcycles, The Shape of Speed opens June 16 and will be on view through September 16, 2018.
The concept of streamlining has fascinated people for generations. Beginning in the 1930s and extending until the outbreak of the World War II, automotive designers embraced the challenge of styling and building truly streamlined cars that were fast and fuel-efficient. They were encouraged by the confluence of aircraft design with the sleek shapes of fast railroad locomotives; new advanced highways such as the Autobahns; and events like the 1939 New York City World’s Fair, which showcased futuristic design.
The Shape of Speed presents a select group of rare automobiles and motorcycles that demonstrate how auto designers translated the concept of aerodynamic efficiency into exciting machines that in many cases, looked as though they were moving while at rest.
The Museum will display 17 cars and two motorcycles—the best of that era’s streamlined offerings—from Europe and the United States. Engineering drawings and period photographs will show some of the aircraft, railroad, ship and yacht designs that influenced the automakers.
Featured designers and engineers include European streamlining pioneer Paul Jaray, along with Richard Buckminster Fuller, Norman Bel Geddes, Raymond Loewy, Harley J. Earl, Hermann Ahrens, Georges Paulin, Joseph Figoni, Dr. Wunibald Kamm, Otto Kuhler, Jean Bugatti, Hans Ledwinka, Gordon Buehrig, and others.
In 1939, as part of the New York World's Fair, the London Midland & Scottish Railway undertook the mammoth task of releasing one of their streamlined locomotives and matching train sets and shipping them across the Atlantic for display as part of the Transportation exhibits in New York. This was not the first time the LMSR had shown such panache as in 1933 they had sent the Royal Scot train to the United States on a tour.
The locomotive seen 'here' and that was displayed at the Fair following a journey around the US was badged up as 6220 'Coronation' and carried the streamlined crimson livery; it was in fact locomotive 6229 Duchess of Hamilton disguised and the original 6220, one of the first five of the larger class, originally carried the streamlined 'Caledonian Blue' livery. The whole Fair was overshadowed by the outbreak of war in 1939 and the train was effectively stranded in the US. The locomotive returned to the UK in 1942 and regained its original identity the following year. The carriages had to wait until 1946 until being repatriated.
The leaflet opens to describe the importance of the LMS and its services along with descriptions of the territory it served. There was a similar leaflet, printed in red, that was issued during the Exhibition in New York City.

The Moonlighter train is owned by the Nexus Force, and is a retro-futuristic stream-liner mix of old-school steam technology, but with hyper-modern safety features designed specifically for use by Nexus Force personnel as a very high-speed, high-security ground transport between the northern-most city of St. Nicklaus and north-pole-hugging outpost of Ice Station Odyssey, around 500 miles away. (this all takes places on the ice-bound planet of Beta Polaris, which orbits what we here call the North Star, far away from Earth.) Thus this makes it a space train!
Unlike the slower Earth trains, the Moonlighter type of space-train is super-streamlined, and can go up to speeds of up to 110 MPH (135 is the loco's top possible speed) on it's special track, with super-elevated curves and long straight-away's over hundreds of miles, all while using Positive Train Control (PTC) on the the mostly double-track mainline, where all vehicle crossings are flyovers and switches virtually non-existent once out of St. Nicklaus city limits. This train runs along with nine other identical versions of this train (10 total trains in all) on the route with up to seven in running order on the route and at least two in the maintenance shed / in emergency backup storage at any one time. They are numbered 2000 through 2010.
Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name of the power station and a few other nearby buildings near the beach, and of an important ecological site at the same location.
Dungeness is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife. This is recognised and protected mostly through its conservation designations as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay.
There is a remarkable variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant: a third of all those found in Britain. It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain.
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, was last found in the UK in 1988, but has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago. It is to be reintroduced at Dungeness. It is planned that the first bees will be introduced in the spring of 2010.
The flooded gravel pits on Denge Beach, both brackish and fresh water, provide an important refuge for many migratory and coastal bird species. The RSPB has a bird sanctuary there and every year thousands of bird watchers descend on the peninsula to catch a glimpse of a rare bird from the bird observatory.
One of the most remarkable features of the site is an area known as 'the patch' or, by anglers, as 'the boil'. The waste hot water and sewage from the Dungeness nuclear power stations are pumped into the sea through two outfall pipes, enriching the biological productivity of the sea bed and attracting seabirds from miles around.
Beach fishing is popular at Dungeness, with the area being a nationally recognised cod fishing venue in the winter.
The name Dungeness derives from Old Norse nes: "headland", with the first part probably connected with the nearby Denge Marsh. Popular etymology ascribes a French origin to the toponym, giving an interpretation as "dangerous nose".
This streamlined saloon, with a monocoque aluminum coachwork, was the last big Panhard. Its sleeve valve engine was outdated, but apart from that this baroque and expensive car was extremely modern : all-round independent wheels and one of the first with a dual hydraulic brake circuit. Three seats in the front with a central steering wheel were difficult to accept, and as from 1939 the steering wheel was moved to the left-hand side. 2.230 models were built.

By 1938 London Transport was in the midst of an investment programme that was vast in scale and investment. The "New Works Programme 1935/40" saw massive extensions to tube lines (including the Bakerloo and Central) and to service the lines new tube rolling stock was required (alongside surface stock). This 1938 advert was issued by British Thomson-Houston of Rugby who provided vast numbers of control gear sets for the new tube trains. The ad illustrates one of the few design failures of LT and the NWP. The revolutionary new trains were, in the prototype batch, given a 'streamline' front end that was soon discredited as at low speed the 'nose' had no real aerodynamic effect, the extra car length created issues at tube station platform headwalls and - well, it was a touch to 'flash' for LT's rigorous design ethos! By 1938 the squadron batch of trains, that were to become amongst the most famous of all tube trains and that gave many decades of service, were delivered with the restrained and sober 'flat' fronts. The 1935-stock was eventually reconstructed to the same cab design.
I can get up the stairs now which is great news, I can't do much else yet.
Catching up on some back shots from the beginning of the year.
In Akaora with my Flickr and blip friend. February 22, 2016 Akaora, New Zealand.
The day was cold and felt like rain but it didn't. When we passed the Akaroa Lighthouse there was some wedding shoot there. They didn't seem to mind me taking some shots too.
The Akaroa Lighthouse Preservation Society moved the lighthouse from the Akaroa heads to its present location on 2 August 1980. Today a roster of volunteers 'man' the light house to enable the public to visit and view this iconic historic Akaroa landmark.

C&O streamlined steam locomotive 490, B&O Railroad Museum. Taken back in 1993 when many of these iconic locomotives were still displayed outside (not good for preservation, but it was good for photos), this engine is now on display inside the restored Car Shop building, which added nicely to the Museum's facilities. A description of the 490 from the museum's website:
The No. 490 was constructed by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway (C&O) in 1926. As one of the five F-19 4-6-2 "Pacific" locomotives built for the C&O, the No. 490 was used on passenger trains on the mainline east of Charlottesville and west of Clifton Forge. In 1930, the No. 490 was assigned to the "Sportsman," the premier C&O passenger train at the time. Later, the No. 490 was transferred to the "George Washington." The No. 490 and other 4-6-2s operated between the Cincinnati and Washington route until 1942 when the C&O replaced the "Pacifics" with new heavy Baldwin 4-8-4. The No. 490 and other 4-6-2s continued to run as secondary passenger trains during World War II.
Shortly after the end of the war, the C&O decided to upgrade their passenger service. The C&O was primarily a coal-hauler and therefore wanted to improve steam locomotive technology. They developed a new luxury liner between Washington and Cincinnati named the "Chessie." The new liner was to be powered by experimental steam-turbine-electric locomotives. In addition, the C&O's Huntington shops rebuilt the No. 490 and the other 4-6-2s into 4-6-4 "Hudsons." The new locomotives had roller bearings, front-end throttle, high-speed booster, cross counterbalance, and the Franklin system of steam distribution.
Due to the increased automobile production and the airline expansion that occurred after the war, the luxury Chessie passenger trains never ran. The rebuilt "Hudsons" instead hauled regular passenger trains until 1953. The No. 490 was stored in the Huntington Roundhouse until 1968 when it was moved to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum.
Streamlined and minimal landscape design by Suzanne McKevitt. I've been seeing more of this unique Agave species around Los Angeles lately. The common name of this elegant species is Octopus Agave. Very striking when flowering. A native of Mexico, this architectural plant can tolerate intense heat and very dry conditions. Unlike most Agave, the leaves do not have spines, thus making this Agave a good choice in gardens with young children.
I bought this little engine on Ebay this evening. (seller's photos) I really like the running characteristics of the Broadway Limited "Hybrid" models, so for the price I couldn't pass it up.
The BLI imported models are brass and die cast construction, the boiler and tender structures are fabricated sheet brass, while the frame of, both, the engine and tender is die cast metal. They come factory painted and equipped with a can motor with flywheel drive, sound, smoke and complete lighting and run on DC and DCC systems. They are excellent models for the cost.

The beautiful Duchess of Hamilton locomotive at the National Railway Museum, York.
Built in 1938, the 'Duchess' reportedly covered some 1.5 million miles before being retired in 1964.
The delicious streamlined bodywork you see here was removed in 1947 as it made working on the locomotive somewhat difficult. Thankfully, the streamlining was restored by the NRM in 2009.

Norfolk Southern operated Norfolk & Western streamlined J class 4-8-4 Northern steam locomotive # 611 is leading a Railfan Excursion Train in Tennessee, October 1989. This train was operated from Chattanooga to near the border of Kentucky at Oneida on the old Southern mainline, and then it returned to Chattanooga. From Oakdale to Onedia the train was operating on a portion of the old Southern Railway Rathole Division. Numerous railfans with cameras were at just about every doorway or vestibule dutch door to take photos or videos, especially on curves. Since this was a coal burning steam locomotive, you had to look out for the fly ash drifting back.
